Paddu is a indian fast food dish made by steaming batter, traditionally made from pulses (specifically black lentils) and rice using a mould. The cast iron mould/pan has seven holes and shallow fries the batter into round shaped delicacy!! This is a preferred option for quick snacking as well as made for eating on long distance trips / travel as it stays good without refrigeration...Most of the food stalls will certainly have this option available along with idly and dosa as hot and fresh food unlike other fast frozen microwaved warmies!!
